Textured Dishcloth Knitting Pattern

As you know I love to knit. My favorite thing to knit is dishcloths because they are quick and easy. I knit in the pickup line at school, while watching TV at night and anytime I have spare time. I’ve even learned to knit while my toddler is sleeping on me.

Knitting is a calming activity for me. I’m able to focus my thoughts and relax while knitting. It brings feelings of comfort. My mom taught me to knit shortly after I had my first child. Since then I’ve learned to crochet as well.

During one of my husbands deployments I even started my own business selling crochet newborn photo props. I sold online and at craft fairs. It really helped to pass the time during the nine month deployment. While I loved it, it took up too much of my time. I decided to crochet and knit for myself.

I recently came across this pattern for a textured dishcloth and fell in love. Not only does it look fantastic but it’s functional.

This is great because while I love to knit, all I can do is knit and purl pretty much! Occasionally I try some fancy stuff like K2tog but pretty much I’m k2, p2 kinda gal hehe! This looks like an awesome quick project- great for gifts!

Thank you for the simple pattern! When my grandmother was alive she used to make hundreds of these and give them to us at christmas. I think of her every time I wash the dishes 🙂

I love the way these look! Would absolutely buy them at the store. I have tried to learn to knit and to crochet in the past. It was not pretty!! Now I just buy cute things someone else made!

These are so cute! I wish I could knit, or rather I wish I had the TIME to knit! It must be such a therapeutic activity! One of my best friends gifted me a knitted blanket for my first baby and I loved it, I have kept it and will never get rid of it, it was made with love <3

OMG, this brings back memories of my grandmother. I remember we made potholders, using the same technique.

Hi! I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but the first row I ended up P2, not K2 before the last stitch. I double checked that I did cast on 36 stitches.

The cast on was off. Thanks so much for pointing that out. I’ve updated it to say cast on 38.

I absolutely love this pattern. Had seen it on another post a year or so ago, and think it’s the best dish/wash cloth out there. Their dimensions were 11″×11″ which I think is larger than necessary. I’ll cut back to 38 cast on, but will probably have to go more than 6 inches as I like my clothes as square as possible. I love these because they’re so useful, fun, and quick. I also love making coasters, which make great gifts too.

I’m so glad you stopped by! I was actually just working on some dishcloths. I don’t like mine large either.
